What a week - we have just processed our 100th booking for the Low Carbon Communities Conference on 4th October in llangollen, completed 2 case study reports on low carbon communities in the North West, written two articles on low carbon communities, written a conference presentation, answered over 200 emails and still found time to walk the dog!!
For the time being I’m saying goodbye to the Low carbon Diary Blog, but you can still keep up with me by checking out the Conference website, reading my posts for the Chester chronicle or following progress on Sustained Magazine’s Staff Blog. See you after the conference x

Last night I had a drink with the Editor of Sustained Magazine (thanks David!), we talked about low carbon living and the ways in which Sustained might be able to support the Low Carbon Community Conference, as well as having a good blether over a lime and soda! David kindly gave me a couple of back issues to look at, and I really enjoyed the interview with Mukti Mitchell. I followed his Low Carbon Lifestyle Tour last year, but haven’t met him yet. There is an archive of back issues on the website so you can take a look at them for yourself.
David and I also chatted to Alison, founder of Chester Freecycle. I might finally get rid of my daughter’s old but in immaculate condition Barbie scooter… Freecycle is a great concept, give useful stuff away instead of sending it to landfill. Lots of low carbon communities support their local Freecycle groups, so take a look and see if there’s one near you.
Today I’m off to talk funding for the October conference, hoping to organise some travel bursaries for community groups. I’ll let you know how I get on
